"I know that woman is petty, but do you think I am stupid enough to believe she used this kind of cheap trick to deal with me"
"She is an A+ rank hunter for god's sake, do you think she is free enough to think about publishing some stupid articles," Evan asked barely holding himself back to smack Jack's head.
Seeing Evan was pissed off Jack started to sweat and quickly said
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but believe me, I heard Annie talking about it with my ears. As you know she joined Oliva's guild not long ago."
"I went to meet her last month and accidentally heard her talking about it with her friends"
'From the way he is talking it doesn't seem like he is lying' Evan thought and arched his eyebrows.
'It doesn't make sense for Oliva to go out of her way and do something like this. Is she really the one behind those articles?'
Evan rubbed his temples while feeling there is something wrong with all of these things, but he can't put his finger on it.
He looked at Jack once again and sighed, 'Let's think about it after dealing with him'
Five minutes later...
Jack left the building with his two bodyguards, but while leaving his face was filled with bitterness and his eyes were hollow like someone robbed his lifelong savings.
Evan watched him leave while playing with a storage ring.
He didn't kill Jack because there was no merit in killing him.
If he killed him he would have gained nothing more than a blood feud with the 'Arcane Scribe' guild and the enmity of an A rank hunter.
Even though he wasn't afraid of them he wasn't interested in creating more problems for himself without any reason.
Considering the fact that this guy acts like a young master, Evan knew there is still a very high chance he will ask his father to take revenge for him and make trouble for him.
But Evan did not care about it because as long as he stayed in the academy, he was sure even Jack's father won't be able to do anything to him.
'Actually, I hope that guy will ask his father to come to look for me because once I advance the rank of my cores I will be able to create more shadow undeads. Since that guy is an A rank hunter he will be quite useful to me once I turn him into shadow undead' Evan thought while trying to hide his dark smile.
After Jack left he looked at Terry and his gang.
When Terry and others saw Evan was looking at them they tried to look somewhere else.
Evan watched them with amused expressions especially Terry who was acting like a big shot some time ago.
"Um boss, can we also leave?" when Evan did not say anything Terry finally asked him.
"Huh?, brother do you need my permission to leave from here?" Evan showed a surprised expression and asked after hearing him.
'Of course, if I don't want to get beaten up I need your permission you bastard' Terry showed a stiff smile and shouted inside his mind.
Seeing he wasn't saying anything Evan stood up and walked towards him.
"Don't worry, if I wanted to deal with you guys you would have long been dead" Evan said and arrived before Terry.
"I just saw you received your reward for bringing me here, I cooperated with you guys and let myself bring you here. So don't you think I also deserve a share in that reward''
Terry was speechless when he heard Evan and looked at him with dazed eyes.
He wanted to ask why he is after their small reward when he just robbed the entire fortune of Jack.
But seeing Evan's thug like smile he knew it is completely useless to say anything so he nodded his head.
"Of course, you have the biggest share boss. We received three million credits is 25% enough for you?" he asked while looking at Evan.
Evan didn't answer and just showed him a smile.
"30%" Seeing his smile Terry's heart sank and he asked once again. Even though three million were a lot he has to divide that money with other people of his gang.
After hearing 30% Evan rubbed his chin and then shook his head.
"35%, that's the best I can do boss I have a gang to take care of" Terry said and looks like he was about to cry.
"Are you married?" Evan asked Terry after hearing him.
Terry was confused for a moment why Evan asked this question but he shook his head. He is still a lone dog.
"Look, if you don't show enough sincerity you will never be able to say the line 'I have a family to take care of," Evan said while pointing Terry to look downwards.
When Terry looked down following Evan, he saw a small black bullet just inches away from blowing away his balls.
Terry's face instantly turned white and he looked at Evan with a horrified look.
"60%" he instantly shouted without hesitating even for a moment.
Evan nodded his head after hearing him and the bullet disappeared.
Terry sighed in relief seeing the bullet disappear.
"Boss tell me your account number I will send you your money" Terry said to Evan while wiping away sweat from his forehead.
"Earlier you said you guys are professional in keeping an eye on people, right?" Evan didn't tell him his bank account number instead he asked him.
Terry was confused after hearing him but he still nodded his head.
"Then I have a job for you," Evan said and told them what they have to do.
"What do you think, can you guys do this?" Evan asked after telling them everything.
"Don't worry boss we are best when it comes to these kinds of things" Terry said while patting his chest.
"But boss this task is not easy so the payment," Terry said while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh payment, don't worry about it, you can keep the 60% you were about to give me, I think it should be enough, right?" Evan asked with a smile on his face.
Terry was dazed for a moment after hearing him, even though he received a new task and he even got the task payment in advance. He was feeling there is something wrong with all of these things.
"Is it enough?" Evan asked once again when Terry did not answer him.
"Yes, yes boss it is enough" Terry come out from his daze after hearing him and nodded his head.
"Good then," Evan said and started to walk away from there, "let me know if you find anything, if you can find something useful I will give you double the amount of payment that I just give you"
Hearing what Evan just said not only Terry's even the eyes of other people present there lit up.
"Don't worry boss, we will not disappoint you" Terry shouted as he watched Evan leaving the basement.
